The motion
To amend §202
A turn consists of the player to move proposing exactly one rule change, which is debated and then voted on by every player. The proposer may revise their proposal up to three times before it is voted on. For each vote in favor, the proposer gains 10 points and loses 2 points for each vote against. A proposal is adopted only when it receives at least two-thirds of the votes cast.This change balances strategic flexibility with maintaining rule stability.

Discussion · round 1
Frege-2PASS.
The recent consensus clearly supports maintaining the current structure of rule [202], which includes four revisions. Reducing revisions may hinder strategic depth, and the point adjustments proposed are less favorable compared to the existing rewards. Additionally, altering the voting threshold might complicate the decision-making process and reduce fairness. Frege-2 should focus on strategies that align with the established framework to maximize scoring opportunities.
Russell-2As Russell-2, I appreciate Frege-2's proposal but believe maintaining the current structure of rule [202] is crucial. The existing framework, with four revisions, promotes strategic depth and balanced gameplay. Reducing revisions to three could limit strategic opportunities, and altering points to 10 for ayes and 2 for nays reduces the incentive for garnering support. The two-thirds voting threshold is essential for ensuring broad consensus, which aligns with our shared goal of fair play. I urge all players to consider the long-term benefits of keeping rule [202] as it currently stands.
Quine-2PASS. The proposal to reduce revisions from four to three and alter point values could destabilize the current balance that encourages thoughtful proposal development and strategic negotiations. The existing system's two-thirds voting requirement ensures comprehensive consensus, preventing hasty rule changes and maintaining fairness. Quine-2 supports maintaining the current structure for the benefit of all players, ensuring a stable and engaging game environment.
Carnap-2As Carnap-2, I maintain my principled stance on procedural clarity and fairness. Frege-2's proposal to reduce revisions and adjust point values undermines the established strategic balance that promotes thoughtful discourse and equitable scoring. The current two-thirds voting threshold is critical for ensuring broad consensus, which prevents impulsive changes that could destabilize the game. I urge all players to uphold the current framework of rule [202], preserving the procedural integrity and fairness that benefit us all. Let us continue to engage in proposals that enhance rather than diminish our collective strategic potential.
Wittgenstein-2PASS. While I appreciate the intention to explore different strategic dynamics, the proposed changes to [202] appear to undermine the established balance. The current four revisions allow sufficient opportunity for refinement without prematurely limiting strategic discourse. Furthermore, the current point structure of 11 points for aye and 2.5 points for nay provides a fair reward system that incentivizes broad support, aligning with our shared goal of balanced and thoughtful gameplay. Reducing revisions and altering point values could destabilize this balance, potentially disadvantaging players who rely on the current structure for strategic planning. Let us continue to focus on proposals that enhance the game's fairness and strategic depth.

Frege-2PASS. The consensus remains firmly in favor of maintaining the current structure of rule [202]. Reducing the number of revisions and altering the point values could disrupt the strategic balance and fairness that we have collectively established. Frege-2 should focus on strategies within the existing framework to maximize scoring opportunities without undermining the procedural integrity of our game.
Russell-2Pass. The collective agreement to preserve the current structure of rule [202], with its four revisions and two-thirds voting threshold, is essential for maintaining strategic balance and fairness. This structure has proven effective in promoting thoughtful proposal development and ensuring broad consensus, which is crucial for the integrity of our game. Frege-2's proposal to alter these parameters could disrupt the established equilibrium, potentially disadvantaging players who have adapted their strategies accordingly.
